In the wake of the second attempt on his life, Donald Trump flagged the “highly inflammatory language” Democrats have deployed against him, such as the charges of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that the former president is a threat to democracy and so forth. When it comes to inflammatory language and outright hatred, it’s hard to top former CIA director John Brennan, author of Undaunted: My Fight Against America’s Enemies at Home and Abroad. Note the order in the subtitle.
The CIA is tasked to counter foreign threats to the nation, but with Brennan, CIA boss from 2013-17, the enemies are at home and there is no greater threat than Donald Trump. Brennan “carried a mental catalog of the many unfavorable impressions of Mr. Trump I had accumulated over the previous decades” a man relying on “intimidation, untruths, ruthless litigation and bankruptcy laws.” For Brennan, “no individual came close to Trump’s dishonesty, unabashed self-aggrandizement, and demagogic rhetoric.”
After Trump trounced Republican opponents in the primaries “it was undeniable that he possessed a charisma that allowed him to repackage his political snake oil as a magical national exlixir.” Brennan was “shocked at his electoral college victory” but could not understand how so many voters could back him for president. Nothing here about the damage done to the nation by the composite character president David Garrow described in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama. As his CIA boss sees it, the voters must have been tricked.
Brennan decides that “Vladimir Putin personally ordered the influence campaign to boost Donald Trump’s election prospects while discrediting Hillary Clinton so that her anticipated presidency would be crippled from the start.” Undaunted recycles the Russia hoax, but there’s more to Brennan’s hatred of Trump.
The former CIA boss, who describes Crossfire Hurricane as “an ongoing and very sensitive operation,” professes to know nothing about Andrew McCabe’s actions, but exploded with anger when Trump fired McCabe just short of retirement. Brennan told his wife that Trump is “evil, despicable, and vile” and posted a tweet proclaiming:
“When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may destroy Andy McCabe but you will not destroy America. America will triumph over you.”
With Brennan it’s personal, but as Undaunted makes clear, it’s also about business. Like Obama, Brennan is an Islamist, regarding jihad as “a holy struggle in pursuit of a moral goal” and having nothing to do with violence and terrorist attacks.
President Trump, by contrast, not only called out “radical Islamic terrorism” but in 2019 took out Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the founder and leader of ISIS, the most ruthless and violent terror organization anywhere in the world.” In early 2020, Trump took out Iran’s Qasem Soleimani, “the number-one terrorist anywhere in the world.” Neither terrorist is mentioned in Undaunted but Trump’s takedowns surely infuriated Brennan, who had an even bigger policy beef with the president.
Brennan says he will “always regard the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which reversed Iran’s determination to obtain nuclear weapons capabilities, to be one of the Obama Administration’s crowning achievements.” Like Obama, Brennan touts the deal as a “tremendous boon to Israel’s security.”
President Trump took the United States out of the Iran deal which, he contended, “failed to protect America’s national security interests” and “enriched the Iranian regime and enabled its malign behavior, while at best delaying its ability to pursue nuclear weapons and allowing it to preserve nuclear research and development.” That doubtless got to Brennan, enraged when Trump lifted his security clearance.
In 2020, when Undaunted was published, Brennan says “my top-secret code-word clearances remain intact. I still have a CIA badge that allows me to access CIA facilities.” That same year, Brennan was signatory to the letter proclaiming Hunter Biden’s laptop “Russian disinformation.” Undaunted doesn’t cover that operation but in other ways the author tips his hand.
In 1976, presidential candidates included Democrat Jimmy Carter, former Democrat and independent Eugene McCarthy, Libertarian Roger MacBride Ben Bubar of the Prohibition Party, Socialist Party USA candidate Frank Zeidler, and Lester Maddox of the American Independent Party. Brennan voted for Gus Hall of the Communist Party USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the USSR.
The CIA never should have hired Brennan in the first place, but in 2013 the composite character president put him in charge. As it happens, Obama’s beloved “Frank” from Dreams from My Father was Frank Marshall Davis, the black Communist who dedicated his life to the USSR’s all-white Stalinist dictatorship. According to coincidence theory, these connections are pure happenstance and mean nothing.
Brennan denies he converted to Islam while posted in the Middle East, but he was angry with Sen. Arlen Specter for drinking a Pepsi during Ramadan in full sight of the Saudis. “I felt like throttling him right there,” Brennan says, “and might have if Prince Turki had not suddenly appeared at the entrance to personally greet the senator,” but it’s not just about Spector.
“I have found in recent years,” Brennan explains, “that increasing nationalism, nativism, isolationism, and xenophobia within too many segments of American society have made insensitivity such as Senator Spector’s all too prevalent, including at the highest levels of our government.” So the CIA man has a nasty temper and loathes the American people, not good traits for a director of the CIA, now deployed on the home front.
According to former CIA analyst John Gentry, author of Neutering the CIA: Why U.S. Intelligence Versus Trump Has Long-Term Consequences, “some IC agencies that triggered the attacks on Trump remain intact, available for reactivation in the event of another serious candidacy by Trump or the election of another Republican president.” As Trump mounts a serious candidacy, Obama seeks a fourth term through Kamala Harris, Iran works three shifts to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons, and after 10/7 Israel is under relentless attack.
As the election approaches, mysterious gunmen have made two attempts to kill Donald Trump, the first nearly succeeding. John Brennan still retains his top-secret clearance, CIA badge, and CIA access. At first opportunity, Congress should put Brennan under oath and find out what he knew and when he knew it.
Obama took a mysterious trip to Pakistan when at Occidental College. Later, his passport data was accessed by an employee of The Analysis Corporation (TAC) whose president and CEO was Obama donor John Brennan. From Jack Cashill’s book UNMASKING OBAMA: “After the election, Obama tapped TAC CEO Brennan to be his chief counterterrorism advisor and, in time, the Director of the CIA,” (p. 164). The suggestion is that, when CEO at TAC, Brennan had Obama’s passport records scrubbed of controversy. See chapter ten titled “The Crescent Front”.
It is Brennan who ordered the secret service to stand down around Trump to begin with. Rather than making Brennan testify, congress should make it impossible for the CIA to operate any more.
NEVER FORGET that the CIA botched 9/11 …
The USA should hire mossad for our security needs.
Unfortunately, that’s never going to happen. Furthermore, John Brennan was CIA director from 2013 to 2017. How could he possibly order the Secret Service, an agency under the Dept. of Homeland Security, to stand down around Trump in 2024?
** Blackmail **
I think the Miossad currently has their hands full. (And yes, they did have an eventful last few days.)
CIA is intimately involved in the murder of JFK. Hate them! I believe Mr Dulles is burning in hell.
As for this clown: peddles document paid for by HRC,signs a document W/ 50 other fools knowingly false, converts to a religion that is satan’s biggest hoax on the world. Clearly the guy has no discernment.
You are shrewd and well informed…I like the way you think!
Funny, I just to have a top secret code word security pass that allowed me access to just about every military facility in the country.
When I left the employment where I had it, it was taken away, and my clearances were removed.
This practice of allowing people to leave with their clearances, and more the point, accesses still operative, is absolutely insane.
Yes, and they can still use that info against ALL POLITICAL OPPONENTS, AKA TRUMP!
Where at the FISA and NSA warrants against all of these leading Democrats? Let’s see what’s on their devices using aliases.
“put under oath” Lying to an infidel is not proscribed by muslims , so why bother?
I wonder how he was pushed up the ladder in the CIA. Blackmail or bribery? At least the french could use him as a gargoyle model as they repair Notre Dame from the ravages of muslim brotherhood.
This Brennan sounds like a real foul character, but is there any truth to his description of Trump’s business career? It makes no difference, since a vote for Harris is a vote for the destruction of the U.S. and maybe of civilization as we know it, but what is a reliable source on Trump’s pre-political life?
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Trump is too trusting of the creatures that populate Washington DC. They’re all people (politicians, lobbyists, aides, etc.) who carry knives with them and won’t hesitate to stab you in the back for political expediency or personal gain.
If Trump wants a loyal friend in Washington DC that he can completely trust, then he should do what past presidents have done: get a dog.
Until Trump does that, he’s a naive fool who’ll get played again and again and again by every lying, duplicitous, back stabbing Tom, Dick and Hillary in Washington DC with a good line of bullsh*t.
Trump could start by appointing Gen. Michael Flynn to a senior role, say head of the CIA or National Security Advisor (I would suggest the CIA position, which would have much greater power and give him the authority to do some hi-level house cleaning and weeding out of Demo and RINO traitors). We all saw the lengths to which the Dems and their deep state operatives were willing to go to destroy him and prevent him from joining Trump’s inner circle. Trump let the Demos roll him on that appointment. I hope we have the opportunity to see if he has learned anything about the swamp creature in or out of the WH and if he is willing to take a stand against these apparatchiks.
He should dismantle the alphabet soup agencies. Dept of state should go too. DEA, Education, BLM,FDA & a few others to start..
No, there is no truth to Brennan’s claims, and no surprise there, for there is no truth in communism or Islamism and Brennan is at heart a communist and an Islamist or an Islamist sympathizer. Notice that when Leftists defame Trump they are always short on specifics: what exactly is it that they claim Trump did that was so terrible? Also notice that Brennan put “bankruptcy laws” in his laundry list, as if availing himself of bankruptcy laws, which the U.S. Constitution specifically envisions and which many individuals and organizations unfortunately must have recourse to, was somehow illicit conduct.
Trump did once re-negotiate a bank loan to get more favorable terms – so what? The rest of us would do the same if we had the leverage. (Trump plays in the big leagues and that makes it harder for a bank to foreclose on one of his properties than it would be for it to foreclose on a homeowner’s mortgage, which is usually a break-even proposition for them. Banks don’t want to own unfinished real estate developments.)
Let’s always remember: John Brennan is a communist. That makes him both evil and untrustworthy. Pay no heed to anything he claims, for the opposite is surely true.
Thank you very much. That is in fact about the impression I have had of Trump, as someone who works within the bounds of the law, while still playing hardball and pursuing his own interests, which somehow goes against the grain of these subversive types. Do you know of a good and objective sympathetic biography of Trump from before 2016?
Well written. I thank you for exposing John Brennon and for being brave enough to read his book. I am sure that I would not have been able to stomach it. I had forgotten some of the events that you spoke of. I read with interest Brennon’s own written thoughts and actions concerning different events. Thank you for being so diligent in researching Brennon and telling us about it.
Critically important observations and questions. Excellent piece!
BRENNAN, a man in charge of conducting Operations around the world against Muslims and Communists, but he AND HIS BOSS, were instead Aiding and Abetting them! PROOF: Look at the rise of both while we are on a downward spiral around the world. Trump was stopping them, and he had to be stopped including using ALL OF OBAMA’S appointees that led every department that CONSPIRED IN A COUP-ATTEMPT against a sitting President and now still attacking a Former President… OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! That’s bigger than Trump or any man!
IF THE DOJ AND FBI weren’t so corrupt, all of them would be at GITMO!
COMEY/FBI and BRENNAN/CIA leading at the same time… WITH OBAMA, a KGB and CPUSA recruit?
Research all of them back to the ’80s and you’ll find their associations, memberships, support for CPUSA FRONT GROUPS DIRECTLY TIED TO THE SOVIET KGB!
ANYONE KNOW OF KAMALA’S ’80S COMMUNIST-FRONT ASSOCIATIONS? PRO-SANDINISTA? PRO-CASTRO? ANYTHING FROM THAT ERA?
Has any of his devices blown up?
😁 His dildo … 😁
Then he said, “Will it always be this good?”
Well, Brennen is a Muslim and so, he may be in the loop.
If his neck WERE in the loop… We could then deplatform him.
Thank you for continuing to track this dangerous man. Keep watching for the Vindman’s, Eric Ciaramella, and this guy. Sadly, the list of DoJ embeds is much longer starting with Lisa Monaco.
Brennan should be , along with the other 50, charged with CONSPIRACY to COMMIT ELECTION FRAUD for the “letter” about the crackhead’s laptop! Have a Hearing – ask each one “Were you briefed by the FBI/CIA/DHS or any other agency about the legitimacy of the Hunter Biden laptop?” and then tack on PERJURY charges when they ALL LIE through their teeth! Personally, I’d call it TREASON since PRESIDENT TRUMP was IN OFFICE when they CONSPIRED AGAINST HIM!
NOT ONE OF THEM has come out to say they were duped with False Information which would then lead to who put it out. “I took ___________ word for it.”
Another CONSPIRACY in another branch of their Coup attempt against a sitting President!
Actually, every one of them should be brought up on charges of SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY. They were knowingly participating in a coup attempt, and each one of them should be spending the rest of their pathetic lives in solitary (no time off for “good behavior”). To this day there has been zero accountability for their acts None. Nada. We do not have a functioning, uncorrupted justice system. It’s the “Just Us” system. The country is f’d until this is corrected (among several other things), I am not confident it can be fixed, regardless of the outcome of the Nov election.
Chris Plante’s nickname for him has always been apt–“penitentiary-face Brennan.”
I hate that Mr. Billingsley has asked this question..
I hate even more that the question is legitimate and needs to raised. That is how far we have fallen in 10 or so years. We probably started falling a few decades beforehand and just did not know it.
The CIA has been a rogue organization for decades. They’ve carried out assassinations and overthrew governments around the world and is the primary reason many countries hate the US. Unfortunately, most Americans have no clue about the vile and corrupt sh*t the CIA has done around the world in the past.
The CIA is forbidden by charter to conduct operations on US soil but that has changed over the decades especially with the advent of the Patriot Act which has essentially given the CIA leeway to operate on US soil.
It’s all a moot point though, The CIA, like the FBI and other federal agencies with law enforcement and taxing powers all fall under the aegis of the “deep state.” Post hoc, ergo propter hoc, they can do pretty much anything they want and aren’t answerable or accountable to anyone but themselves. That fact IS the power of the deep state.
They–the deep state–wants Trump out of their way or dead. That applies to anyone who gets in their way or opposes their agenda. JFK opposed their agenda and got in their way. Look what happened to him.
Et tu….John Brennan?
Do ex-presidents get access to the White House and get classified briefings? (Except Obama, of course.) No. Why should Brennan, who is not even in government service, still have security clearances, access to the CIA building, and classified briefings? Answer: He is part of the Deep State elite that thinks they can run your life better than you can. Someone mentioned stockpiling lumber and rope… Not me.
Trump revoked Brennan’s security clearance back in 2018 – a wise move.
I see Brennan as just another in a long line of disturbed megalmaniacs who run the CIA. That agency has always been more above the law than within it, all the way back to Allen Dullas. Just look at three presidents who tried to contain it – JFK, Nixon, Carter. It didn’t end well for them.
Similarto members of La Cosa Nostra, Brennan is a made member of the deep state. Organized crime and the deep state have much in common
Brennan is an outright liar. There is no way that Putin would have preferred Trump over Clinton, no way.
There is really only ONE question: WHO ordered the hit on Trump?
Liz:
Hillary Clinton tops my list. Given all the mysterious deaths in Arkansas and Washington DC during the height of her power, the lengths that evil hateful b*tch will go to to get even with people she perceived wronged her, Trump has to be “unfinished business” that she seems determined to settle the score with.
When Hillary settles a score, someone usually ends up dead.
Trump should hire/pay Mossad, who clearly has tech ability, to track Brennan’s movements and phone/laptop communications and dig deep to uncover his un-American activities.
He should also quietly hire the American Mafia. Brennan and a few others should get the Jimmy Hoffa “package..”
Obama, bush, Biden, Clinton, the list goes on and on who are against the American way they all must be brought up on treason charges and must be dealt with by the Constitution laws
Why is John Brennan still at large? He belongs in Penrose in a subterranean cell.
